So as the question says, my bikes in a bit of dis-repair(hasn't been used in a good year, possible two or so since it started giving issues and I had no money/time to fix it). Its an old 1995 Suzuki 400 GSF bandit.

Looking to take it in somewhere in CapeTown, preferably around Pinelands/Goodwood as it'll need to come in on a trailer. What places would you guys recommend? Not exactly loaded with cash either so somewhere affordable would be great.

Bike needs a fair bit of work(chain will need replacing, front fork needs some looking at) but I rate the main issue has something to do with the carbs as to why it won't start and even if it does its only running on 2 cylinders, tried taking it apart and spraying some carb cleaner in to the carbs but no luck so think its time to just take it in somewhere.
 
I dropped you a pm with my mechanic's contact details, though I think Kraaifontein might be a bit out of the way if your bike isn't running.
 
RCR motors in Bellville is where i always used to go. I think Mark? (was a good 3 or 4 years back, I'm up in Jozi now) assisted me whenever i went to them. They were always very professional, very reliable, and really well priced. And they always kept me up to date with what was happening via phone.

I remember the one day i pulled off on my fzr 250 and the chain snapped, tearing it's way through multiple things, leaving me stranded. I called them, and they were there with a trailer within 20 minutes to pick the bike up. They even took me home. By 3pm the next day, they had me sorted and riding again.

I know Bellville might be a bit out of the way for you, but their service really makes it worth it.
